The worldwide Caring Hands Program, focusing on public welfare and disaster relief, provides the framework and point of departure for our employees’ voluntary activities, monetary donations and contributions in kind for worthy causes and partnerships with non-profit organisations. Based on the know-how and support of our employees on the one hand and on Siemens’ core competencies as a provider of infrastructure technologies and solutions on the other, Siemens Caring Hands aims to help improve living standards worldwide.

Siemens employees support worthy causes by devoting time and applying knowledge to assist their communities. Projects, which are selected on the basis of criteria set out in our Volunteering Guidelines, should benefit children and young people, improve education or assist disadvantaged groups in society. Volunteering activities are also an effective way to increase team spirit and improve long-term communication and cooperation.
